I don't see why we couldn't. There wasn't much of a reason to add Banjo outside fan demand, so if Sakurai feels like BWD and/or Dixie are popular enough, he'd probably add them.

Bandana Dee's only role in Smash Ultimate is as an upgraded Spirit, I don't think he views the character very highly. And they would probably rather focus on recent releases like Astral Chain, Three Houses, and Sword/Shield.

maybe I'm wrong but perhaps you're talking about mr.jrpg himself cloud strife, most known for the use of his buster sword which resembles a slab of metal

no, the buster sword has a sharp edge on the end, it's basically a giant razor.

this one is just flat, no edges or anything

Watched all of infinity train. It’s pretty much a master piece imo. But the biggest bomb shell dropped doesn’t even relate to the story but the series itself.

If you’ve been keeping up, CN kept advertising this show (and it’s crew did as well) as a five night special event. Well...

It’s not! They confirmed after it ended that infinity train will return! So get hyped! I’m really happy it’s sticking around as a full fledged series

Talking about swords? Anyone remember that one RPG that had that stupid-looking blue dog on the cover? I always thought it was dumb how it never let go of its sword. It always kept it in its mouth, even during the final battle. Like, how did it eat?

Its brother was worse though. It somehow got it's head stuck through a broken shield in chapter 2, and none of the gazillion of NPCs bothered to help him get it off. They didn't acknowledge it either. It's like they were thinking, "Is that dog's head stuck in a shield? Sounds pretty normal to me."

You must mean Pokemon Sword and Shield. Oh wait. I must have ruined the surprise.

I’ve been debating on making a hypothetical roster for the scenario in which we get a Wave 2, but I’m not sure what/who exactly I would add.

Not every pick is based on fan demand, by the way.

I'll try it for myself, despite being skeptical of a Fighter's Pass 2. Placing my picks for the rest of Fighter's Pass 1 and then adding Fighter's Pass 2:

FP2.png


If we got another Fighter's Pass, I think another Microsoft character could be likely, and all of the reactions of B&K from non-fans and casual fans mentioned Master Chief. Would be a big deal to get the iconic character of Xbox. Would make sense, if we got Minecraft content with B&K as the rumors suggest, but nothing related to Master Chief. Doubt it a little, because perhaps it's not a character that appeals to Sakurai. Sora makes sense as another big character that would make headlines, and the clout that comes with working with Disney (I am certain they would not be as hard to work with as most people believe). While Square Enix would be involved, Sora is owned by Disney, and is why I'm comfortable also having Geno despite the overlap, and makes sense as a final character. I do think, despite Hero being in, that Geno also has a chance for Fighter's Pass 1. Phoenix Wright feels right as the next Capcom character after Dante, for me (though I could see him being in Fighter's Pass 1 instead). Not sure how it would work, which is why I'm uncomfortable putting him in Fighter's Pass 1, but fans claim it would work and was likely highly requested. I thought about Monster Hunter and Resident Evil, but decided against the former already having a presence in Smash, and the latter not quite fitting Smash (from my perspective, not making claims about what Sakurai would think). And I feel like a second Fighter's Pass would need to work with other new companies, outside of Disney, and I'm hesitant to go with another Western character outside of B&K and Crash. So, I think this would be the perfect place to put a character from an indie game, and I think Travis Touchdown is the most likely (don't care about claims to the contrary, he showed up in a Indies Direct, he's indie to me). I also thought about a Konami character, I would like some Ghosts N Goblins representation, but it was hard especially with Bomberman being an assist trophy.

So my reasoning would go as follows:

1. Joker (Atlus - Promotional)
2. Hero (Square Enix - Requested/Promotional)
3. Banjo & Kazooie (Microsoft - Requested)
4. Dante (Capcom - Promotional)
5. Crash (Activision - Requested/Promotional)

6. Master Chief (Microsoft - Promotional)
7. Sora (Disney- Requested/Promotional)
8. Phoenix Wright (Capcom - Requested/Promotional)
9. Travis Touchdown (Grasshopper Manufacture - Promotional)
10. Geno (Square Enix - Requested)

Whether I counted it as Promotional or Requested, I judged based on these poll results, and considered them requested if they got over 100. Completely arbitrary, and arbitrary that I used this poll. Best I could do, I think, to make this as objective as I can. Promotional also doesn't mean it promotes a game with Nintendo, just promotional for the franchise. And I count Hero as requested as well, because I think it's fair to assume Dragon Quest was highly requested in Japan as these polls have a Western bias. I should also mention these aren't characters I necessarily want, but characters I think would happen--I would personally like Crash, Sora, Bomberman, Dante, Dixie, and Waluigi.

I only made a Twitter account to get free **** on Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, but I guess I'll give it a try and see if its worth using.

Going to bed early tonight as I'm going to an provincial park for the entire day for an hike with my dad, uncle, cousins (One of them who just came back to visit) and my cousins girlfriend.

Gonna have lots of fun! When I get back be sure to catch me up to date what I missed whether lives, Smash news, leaks or rumors. :)

That's tough for me, because I really want a Gen 8 Pokemon (Zacian), but I also think Zelda could use another rep (Champion). A new Kirby character would be nice too (BWD).

I'd say Black Shadow.

Picking one is extremely hard, but Id say Adeleine from the Kirby series.

Other picks include Kumatora (Mother) and Victini (Pokemon)
